[http://0-www.oxfordreference.com.library.acaweb.org/views/BOOK_SEARCH.html?book=t161 '''''The Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science & Medicine''''']
Almost 8,000 entries.
This dictionary covers all the major areas of [[sports science]] and medicine including: [[anatomy]], [[biomechanics]], exercise physiology, [[nutrition]], sports [[psychology]], sports [[sociology]], sports injuries, and training principles. It was compiled with the help of a team of eminent contributors and advisers; the third edition has been updated to incorporate recent advances, for example in the areas of gene technology and drug and doping regulations.
This is a useful guide for medical specialists, students of PE, coaches, and athletes, as well as those interested in health and fitness who wish to understand terms such as A-band, jogger's nipple, maximal aerobic power, social loafing, and zero-sum competition.
